which was caused by collision between q
passenger train and freight train. About
thirty persons were on board the passenger

that they had to be brought to the city in
carriages. Two of the persons injured were
badly hurt internally. W. l.. Potts was
thrown from his seat in the car on to barb

Attempt to Wreck n Train.

PARAMOUNT, Ill.,, Aug. 27.-The Wabash
detectives succeeded until yesterday in
keeping quiet an attempted train wrecking
near Danville last Wednesday morning.
The bridge crossing the Vermillion river is
GOO feet long and over 100 feet high, and the
approach from the west is down heavy
grade through deep cut. The Waterman
employed to examine the bridge and throw
the targets as each train passes over, in at
tending to his duties Wednesday morning.
Just before the east. bound fast passenger
train was due, discovered piece of railroad
iron firmly placed between two ties in such
q manner as would have wrecked the first
train passing over. 1t would have been a
CHASTITY wreck, throwing the train filled
with passengers down tho embankment into
the river 100 feet below. After he removed
the obstruction he heard pistol shot fred
below the bridge, which he supposed to
have been signal. Two suspicious look
ing men had been seen around the bridge
during the night, but no trace of them could
afterward be found.

most admirable time /; then he suddenly fell

THE ACCIDENT on THE V. NJ. r. R.-Sena-
tor Butler, of South Carolina, was badly
shaken up the other day on the Virginia
Midland. near Orange Court House, in q
collision between freight and passenger
trsin. The Senator maintains stoutly that
such collisions arc inexcusable. Somebody
is to blame, and he thinks it is the general
management. The managers are not suffi
GENTLY close to their men, he says, and they
work them too long. He proposes, therefore,
in the interest ofthe travelling public. to Of
fer at the next session of Congress an
amendment to the interstate commerce law
prohibiting the railroads from requiring EN-.
pioyes to work more than ten or twelve
hours consecuively. Tie government, he
says, regulates steamboat travel with great
severity. and there is no reason why it
should not try to make travel on land equal.

CHARGES OF PLAGIARIsM.-There is no
little excitement in Richmond among church
people, especially of the Baptist denomina-
ton, over the charge Of plagiarism made in
Atlanta sgainst Rev. DR.. J. B. Hawthorne,
a leading Baptist minister there, and who
two years ago was pastor of the largest
Baptist church in Richmond. The Georgia
papers Caught DE-. Hawthorne by bringing
out the parallel columns on MIN, and the
Richmond State copied them just at the
tine DR.. Hawthorne reached Richmond on
9 visit When the prohibition fight was az
i,a.ng Richmond SO much few years ago.
the State warmly opposed prohibition, and
Dr. Hawthorne advocated it, and finally
wound ND by dcnouncing in some of his
speeches Mr.. Beirne, the editor OF the paper,
from the pulpit, because the State editor
hsd fought duel. The editor OF the State
reforted in card in which he reproachcd
Hawthorne for his Incorporate and unnlin-
isteria language. He said that he was only
protected by the profession Of which he was
such an unworthy member. Before DR..
Hawthorne left Richmond charges of pla
glari.m were whispered there but hushed
